Item: Microfiber Wheel Cleaner

Vendor: Dollar Tree

Distributed by: Greenbrier International Inc.

UPC: 3977 39486 6
Origin: Made In China

Size:
6.0" wide
7.75" long

CD scratch test: no scratches


I saw this last month at a Dollar Tree in Denver, CO and thought "For a dollar, I'll get one."

The size fits my hand well and is comfortable. The micro fiber side is soft with a short pile. The inside has a thin layer of foam. The scrubber side is surprising soft and did not mar or scratch the surface of a CD regardless of pressure.

While I have not tried it on my wheels, I did find a great use for it - cleaning the inside of the car windows! Worked better than any product or method I've used to date.

I sprayed the cleaner on the MF side and then cleaned the inside of the windows. The thin profile and triangular shape made it very easy to get to the narrow edges where the window meets the dash and parcel deck at the rear. It also got into the corners with no problem.

I give this product a 10 out of 10 and I'll add a +1 for the price of $1.00 - if you find it, it's a "must buy" (I bought two).

Regards,
GEWB

I've tried very many different tools, but always keep coming back to OXO feather tip wheel brush.

I never liked the CD scratch test. Just because it doesnt scratch a CD does not mean it will not scratch very soft paint that is easy to marr.
